"You have been making good resolutions then for the future, I suppose?"
"Yes, sir; I'm going to turn over a new leaf, and do first-rate in school this year, and home too."
"Have you looked over your past year pretty closely?"
"Not so very much."
"Have you come up to the purpose of the good resolutions you made last New Year's?"
"No, sir, I expect not; I can't remember very well all I've done, or what they were."
"Seems to me you drew up a copy of resolves then, didn't you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Suppose you go and get them, and and let us look them over."
